Bs"d, Iyar 5761

To our brothers dwelling in the Holy Land who observe the mitzvos of the Shmittah Year

I hereby wish to publicize the deeds of the gibborei koach, our brothers in the fields, men of orchards and vineyards who have accepted upon themselves to observe the shevi'is according to halacha and stand firm in all the difficult trials of the gibborei koach, and who consistently do everything according to the rulings of the beis din.

Now that harvest time has come and we merit to have fruits of shevi'is which are kosher and hefker as required by halacha, emissaries of the beis din hire workers to harvest and collect the fruits in order to disburse them at distribution points according to halacha, while collecting money for the expense involved in the maintenance of the orchards and vineyards and the expenses of packing and distribution.

I hereby turn to the community, including the yeshivas and institutions, to assist and strengthen those who keep the shevi'is according to halacha by buying these fruits which have no chashash of being ne'evad or shomur. Let everyone bring blessing into his home and eat them with kedushas shevi'is. This will also help the beis din pay the expenses of the farmers they represent, who worked according to the instructions of the beis din.

May it be G-d's will that through the merit of keeping shevi'is according to halacha we soon merit the complete Redemption.

Nissim Karelitz
